the other day

Post by not me »

so i take a tumble on my duty
phone the office and tell em im coming back.
now it was a very very quiet Tuesday.so much so that even after falling i tried to keep going as i thought i could manage.
anyway
when im back and filling erica in (dirty mare :wink: )
i hear the managers discussing who had snuck out,who had not taken their vans (we park n poop)and used their own cars and who had left packets
they were heading out to try and find these guys on the streets and check finishing times

im thinking FFS,its really quiet and in real terms most will be done by 12ish
why the f**k are people using their cars,why are they giving managers a chance to pull them up for the sake of a few packets :so there

i know its been said before but c'mon.
the vans are there and its a quiet day.ive had days where my 'partner 'been off and some noob is on his walk
i tell the managers if i wait(which im happy to do as im out to my time and thats it) i will be leaving mail
they say just go but leave the van!!how i laugh and say its either the van or im not going out
i didnt vote for park n poop,they wanted it so its up to them to make it work

I think everyone who's had young children since he started, will know who he is. Just like the Kids from my era, know who Bagpuss, Joe 90, etc., are.

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
